A Book

There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!

— Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

Emily Dickinson’s poem “A Book” is wonderful, OESY. Thank you.

Hope your “Read Across America Day” was a beautiful spring day!

I love books and reading. The first book that opened the doors of literature for me as a young girl was Jane Eyre. I am currently visiting Paris by way of “The Da Vinci Code”. It’s the only way I will ever “see” it, as I have no desire to ever set foot in France. But this journey through Paris in search of the Holy Grail is very interesting.

Love this! I used to get under a blanket with a small lamp late at night and read when I was a teenager.. I have always loved books..The internet came along and cut down my reading.
